NewMetal,

You might want to post your question in the Classic and Vintage section. They'll give you the information you need.

It sounds like you need a frame builder. I dont know how you can just bolt stuff on and have it be rideable

I guess you really need to talk to someone who customizes and adapts original frame parts on bikes.

You might start with a Haynes manual for the oil in frame type Triumph and take it from there.

There's a guy who knows a lot about old Triumphs called Sandy Bandit up near Portland Oregon.

I went there once on a visit to my friend in the U.S.

He must have had 90% of everything Meriden ever exported to the U.S. in his place.

Other than that I can't say.

Try the owners club.

I guess your like me you know how to spell , but when it comes to playing the keyboard, you don't necessarily play the keys in the right order.

Good Luck.
